Thanks man, the tailgate is from www.mar-k.com they reproduce really high quality original and custom truck bed parts. I also got my bed side from there.

Its Christmas again, my one piece headliner came in yesterday. Tried it on fits very well Will only need very minor trimming.

I've never seen these headliners before? Can they be fitted with the glass still intact??

[HEAVY3100]

Great build so far , I love the Elcamino bumper.

I will contact him regarding the one piece. Looks like something smashed the top of my cab which bent the inner sheetmetal that receives the headliner. This would be a great solution to cover it up. Nice truck, by the way. dug.

Thanks, its a friend of mine shop. He runs a small body shop at his house. turn out really good . Next week i'll bring him the cab.

[hotrod1]

Did he build a booth or have a pro booth? I am always looking for good ways to paint in the home shop.

That looks soooo good. Really want to see it in one piece, just hope the green glare doesn't burn the camera up!

jml55; just read thru 17 pages of your build
nice work, nice work indeed

not sure how i missed your build thread...
excellent work on re-configuring the engine harness (and seeing it work)
ingenious use of the spare floor to set motor and tranny mounts
grill insert looks awesome, you should think of manufacturing those
2nd paint job and body work looks better than the first, we've all been screwed before
also why most of us do our own work

but...

these pics have me thinking about a task force roadster pickup project
is my wife ever going to be pissed at you

[JML55]

Thanks, its been a long road but i'm almost there.

The bed looks good can't wait to see the cab with some color.

[ChuckDriver]

Color looks fantastic!!
